We have amazing fans. Seriously, we’re constantly surprised not only by your creativity and ingenuity, but also by how willing and excited you are to incorporate SEGA and our games into your special occasions, holidays, and celebrations.

The SEGA Community team is all getting ready for our holiday break, and you’ll see us posting a lot less for the next few weeks as we take time to be with our families, go on vacation, and just spend time relaxing. We’ll be back to posting regularly in January, and we’re excited for all that 2012 has to bring.

But for today, we stop to feature your SEGA and Sonic holiday decorations. Although my wish for a Sonic & friends menorah has sadly not come true again (someone, please… work on this for next year), you guys still have some great SEGA and Sonic love in your holidays. Here we go!

This Sonic figure was hand-made by Cara, (aka @bluesonikku) who has sent us her adorable creations for Sonic’s birthday the past 2 years. Unfortunately, both birthday scenes have been broken — the first by us (someone accidentally knocked it over), and the second by the postal service (it arrived in a billion pieces).

But luckily, she sent us a winter scene which arrived and remains intact. We took photos of it in our Green Hill Zone cube (yes, we still have it), and many people have been by to admire it. Personally, my favorite part are the two tiny hats keeping Sonic’s ears warm. Thanks again, Cara — we always enjoy seeing your work.

This photo of her videogame tree, which includes Sonic at the bottom left, was sent to us by @malorijones.

Sonic’s got a candy cane in this photo, sent to us by @amy_hedgehog.

Feliz Navidad, Super Sonic! Sent to us by @1122andy.

This Shinobi ornament comes to us from Mia.

Sonic in a Santa hat, along with a bunch of games, was sent to us by @cadubogik.

Jeremi on our Facebook page sent us this awesome tree.

This Sonic tree came to us from Esmeralda in Honduras!

More Sonic on trees, this one from Kristin.

Another holiday Shinobi, this one from Kori-Maru.

A cute Sonic tree topper from Luis in Portugal.

Who wouldn’t love to see all the SEGA gear under the tree? This was sent to us by Brandon in Wisconsin.

Kirsty in Wales sent us a photo of her pink tree, which has several Sonic characters in it. Can you find Espio?

More great Sonic and friends trees, this one from @xninplay.

Sonic sits atop the tree at Dan’s house in the UK.

This Sonic stocking is Jeremy’s. I admit that I’m sort of jealous!

Dave sent us this photo of his Sonic Christmas Tree Fairy that he got from Sonic the Comic (UK Edition) when he was 11 years old. It’s recently been rediscovered, and now sits atop the tree for his children to enjoy. Now *that’s* some true Sonic Generation-al sharing. +1 for nerd dad credentials!

Thanks for sending in your photos, and to everyone for bringing SEGA and Sonic into your homes this holiday season. You can see all the photos we got on our Flickr.

From our SEGA family to yours… Happy Holidays!
